TESDA TM1-Certified Instructor Rogie Earns Oracle AI Certification
Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword. AI is embedded in how the world works, learns, and innovates. AI now forms the backbone of digital transformation. From recommendation engines and predictive analytics to conversational systems, AI is everywhere. Understanding how this technology operates has become essential. Not only for tech professionals but for anyone preparing for the future, especially for TESDA TM1-certified trainers.
Bringing Global AI Standards into Local Innovation
At Armada Logics, this belief fuels how the team trains, builds, and innovates. Through internal AI programs, developers don’t just learn to leverage AI tools in their workflows. They design and build AI systems and solutions that enhance efficiency and creativity across projects. Moreover, this hands-on approach ensures that AI becomes not just an aid but an integral part of how the company delivers real-world results.
One of the key individuals leading this mission is Rogie Urriza. In fact, he earned his Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2025 AI Foundations Associate certification on October 22, 2025, with an impressive 95% score. Currently, Rogie serves as a TESDA TM1-certified instructor and curriculum developer at Armada Logics. Moreover, he is also an Oracle Certified Associate (OCA) Java SE 8 Developer. He scored 96%, further showcasing his strong technical foundation and commitment to continuous learning.
For Rogie, this milestone represents more than personal growth. This certification reflects the evolution of AI education. “Passing the Oracle AI Foundations exam may have been easy,” he said, “but it affirmed my growth as both a developer and instructor. It helped me connect what I teach with how AI works in real systems.”
TESDA TM1-Certified Trainer Who Builds, A Developer Who Trains
Rogie pursued AI certification with a clear purpose—to align his teaching with global standards. From the very beginning, he knew that mastering AI meant more than just understanding theory. “I wanted to align my teaching with global AI standards,” he explained. “Oracle’s lessons gave me solid fundamentals that strengthened both my technical and instructional approach.”
Moreover, balancing his dual roles as developer and instructor comes naturally to him. “I treat my work and teaching as one cycle; what I learn from development, I teach—and what I teach, I apply,” he said. Through this ongoing exchange, he ensures that every concept he teaches remains grounded in real-world applications.
The Learning Journey: Understanding AI Beyond the Exam
When it came to certification preparation, Rogie focused not just on passing a test but on truly understanding how AI works beneath the surface. “The challenge wasn’t the test,” Rogie shared. “It was understanding how AI infrastructure works behind the scenes. That’s where I learned the most.”
To achieve this, he spent hours exploring Oracle’s learning materials and hands-on labs, steadily deepening his grasp of how cloud systems host and deploy AI models. “It gave me a clearer view of how AI runs on cloud systems and how models are deployed in real-world settings,” he added.
Building Globally Aligned AI Curriculum
Immediately, Rogie’s certification influenced his work as a curriculum developer. He began integrating cloud-based and industry-level applications into the AI modules. “It inspired me to include more cloud and real-world AI applications in our modules for Armada Logics training,” he said.
For him, effective AI education must be hands-on, industry-based, and beginner-friendly. “We align our content with global AI standards while simplifying concepts through real-world examples,” Rogie explained. “Each topic is designed to be hands-on and progressive. Starting with basic principles and gradually introducing advanced tools used in the industry.”
In his classes, theory and practice always go hand in hand. “We combine short lectures with practical labs and projects,” he said. “Learners immediately apply what they study by building simple AI models. Or using cloud tools, turning abstract concepts into real, tangible skills.”
Strengthening Armada Logics’ Mission Through TESDA TM1-Certified Trainers
Rogie’s Oracle certification reinforces Armada Logics’ commitment to developing next-generation AI programs and aligning them with global standards. “It strengthens our position as a company bringing global AI standards into local education,” he said.
At Armada Logics, collaboration is key to ensuring that every course meets world-class benchmarks. “Our team works closely through continuous research, certification alignment, and peer review,” Rogie noted. “We benchmark our modules against international programs and integrate feedback from industry experts and educators.”
Armada Logics’ strength lies in combining real-world software experience, certified instructors, and a mission to localize global best practices. As Rogie put it, “We bring global practices into local contexts, making advanced AI education accessible, practical, and relevant for Filipino learners.”
Shaping the Future of AI Education in the Philippines
Looking ahead, Rogie envisions AI education in the Philippines becoming more practical. More industry-driven and career-oriented. “AI learning will continue to evolve, becoming more hands-on and aligned with global industry standards,” he said.
He firmly believes Filipino students should begin cultivating skills that go beyond coding—especially critical thinking, adaptability, and curiosity. Moreover, he emphasizes that “certifications validate real skills and ensure alignment with global standards. For educators, they build credibility; for students, they open doors to international opportunities.”
What’s Next for Rogie and Armada Logics
Rogie is already focused on the next frontier. “We’re expanding our AI programs and integrating new technologies such as Generative AI and Prompt Engineering into the curriculum,” he shared. Armada Logics is also strengthening collaborations that aim to shape the next wave of Filipino AI professionals.
Armada Logics pledges to continue to bridge the gap through Silicon Valley-caliber expertise. With the right guidance, tools, and vision from educators like Rogie, we can build a future-ready workforce. A workforce prepared to thrive in the AI era.
